Biography[]
Not much is really known about Crane's background other than the fact he grew up in London, and had been friends with John Marcus and Major Claude Courtney from a young age. Crane had helped the pair in establishing the Marcus Gang later renamed the London Underground Crime Syndicate. He and Major became Marcus' two underbosses. Working under Marcus, Crane discovered just ruthless he could be, and was no different himself. He willingly killed the Syndicate's enemies with his own bare hands, and handled all of the grim task that an underboss woudln't normally take on. He also controlled his own large reigme which mainly opreated in the lower districts of London, where Crane would take care of low level drug dealers who were rivalling the Syndicate by stealing their customers. Crane also no conscience when kidnapping homeless people to become lab rats in Marcus' experiments. He willingly tricked them into thinking they were getting food, but what they got was a whole lot worse I'll tell you that much.
These Days[]
Crane recently kidnapped a new set of homeless people for Marcus to use in his experiments. He also became one of the men that the Wonga Family aspired to kill for their take over of London. However, Crane stumbled upon some private DM's from Marcus to Major discussing how they planned to use Crane for one of their experiments. Crane drove to Marcus' office with the intention of killing him. Crane met with Marcus, and claimed to be ready for his experiment. Then Crane lunged at Marcus, and started violently attacking him. Crane was thrown off Marcus by One Round Lawson, and was then elecorated to death by one of Marcus' cybermen. Despite him trying to kill him, Marcus deeply mourned the loss of Crane, while his body was burnt by Major a practice the Syndicate did for all the bodies of traitors like Sam Bramsberry.
Personality and traits[]
Crane is very brutal in his role as Marcus' underboss and left-hand man. He lacked any emotion which were perfect attriubutes given his job. His lack of emotions proved helpful when he was tricking homeless people into unknowingly becoming part of Marcus' experiments. Crane is said to be so cold and unemotional that he didn't even cry during his own dad's funeral. Crane was also wise, and knew when things weren't right as seen when he checked Marcus' DMs which he sent to the Major. Despite being Marcus' left-hand man, he was planned to be turned into one of their experiments for unknown reasons even though Crane was one of their most trusted allies. Crane was also quickly replaced with James Leakton as the role of Marcus' left-hand man. Crane did not love his fellow man, he also did not fear deah, or God, or even Hell itself. It is unknown if anything really scared him.
